Additional Benefits

Superior security for virtualized environments

Kaspersky Security for Virtualization has been specifically developed for virtualized IT infrastructure:

A single, centralized anti-malware solution can protect all virtual machines on a physical server

Kaspersky’s industry-leading frequency of anti-malware updates helps to minimise vulnerability and protect against new threats

Powerful remediation capabilities disinfect malware

The solution provides agentless protection for virtual machines that run on a wide range of Windows operating systems

Reducing costs – by simplifying administration

Advanced management features help to simplify administration tasks and eliminate security gaps:

Instead of having to install and manage protection on every virtual machine, a single instance of Kaspersky Security for Virtualization can protect all virtual machines on a physical server

Physical and virtual endpoints are discovered dynamically

New virtual machines are automatically provided with anti-malware protection – to help eliminate security gaps and misconfigurations

Administrators can adapt security settings to suit different applications and workloads

Agentless Advantages

Many of the traditional, agent-based anti-malware products are not well suited to virtualized environments. Virtualization is all about maximizing the utilization rates for the IT infrastructure - in order to maximize return on investment. However, many agent-based anti-malware products require the antivirus software and signature database to be installed on every virtual machine… which partly defeats the object of virtualization.
